De Antonio Yachts was founded in 2012 by Marc de Antonio and Stan Chmielewski. The first model was the De Antonio D23 Open, after which the shipyard has continuously developed and launched new boats. The latest new launches were the flagship D50 Coupé and the D32 Open. De Antonio boats stand out due to their special design and are powered by outboards that "disappear" into engine boxes.
Efficient ride thanks to special hull design
This is also the case with the engine of the new De Antonio Yachts E23, but what makes it special is that it is an electric outboard motor. The hull design also ensures a particularly efficient ride. The E23 is a catamaran with an integrated foil. A design that provides additional buoyancy and thus reduces drag. This in turn increases speed and range.

The E23 is powered by a 50 kW outboard engine, which is supplied by a 40 kW battery pack. According to the shipyard, this enables the boat to reach a top speed of 30 knots. The manufacturer specifies a range of 50 nautical miles at 5.0 knots and 24 nautical miles at 20 knots. The battery pack can be charged with a quick charger (charging time 1.5 hours) or the standard charger (8 hours).
The new E23 was presented on 22 April 2024 at the America's Cup Experience in Barcelona's Port Vell. There she was also awarded the title "Official Electric Boat of the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup".
